christ_n be_v call_v the_o word_n and_o say_v to_o come_v from_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n joh._n 1._o therefore_o by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n they_o be_v call_v holy_a nothing_o be_v or_o

be_v effectual_a to_o beget_v grace_n and_o produce_v holiness_n in_o the_o heart_n hence_o we_o find_v rom._n 1.16_o the_o gospel_n be_v call_v the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n and_o 1_o

they_o be_v so_o to_o they_o that_o receive_v they_o and_o possess_v they_o we_o find_v they_o therefore_o call_v riches_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o wisdom_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o in_o effect_n these_o holy_a thing_n in_o the_o text_n and_o pearl_n speak_v of_o be_v divine_a truth_n wholesome_a reproof_n and_o admonition_n occasional_o give_v sect._n 2_o the_o next_o thing_n be_v to_o see_v who_o be_v the_o dog_n and_o the_o swine_n both_o signify_v one_o and_o the_o same_o sort_n of_o man_n in_o general_a yet_o they_o speak_v a_o distinction_n between_o obstinate_a and_o wicked_a man_n in_o the_o general_n none_o but_o obstinate_a and_o very_a irreprovable_a man_n these_o be_v the_o dog_n and_o swine_n they_o be_v call_v dog_n in_o relation_n to_o their_o cruelty_n fierceness_n

man_n when_o they_o be_v whip_v and_o beat_v for_o the_o mischief_n they_o do_v they_o will_v turn_v again_o and_o fly_v at_o his_o face_n so_o say_v our_o saviour_n christ_n there_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n to_o who_o if_o you_o speak_v never_o so_o serious_o savoury_o charitable_o and_o holy_o yet_o like_o dog_n they_o will_v turn_v again_o and_o rend_v you_o by_o swine_n he_o denote_v another_o sort_n of_o obstinate_a opposer_n one_o denote_v they_o furious_a this_o luxurious_a so_o as_o to_o be_v grow_v in_o love_n with_o their_o filthy_a way_n their_o sin_n and_o
